ISO 14001:2015 | View Our Certificate

In order to achieve ISO14001:2015 certification, InterConnection has developed and implemented a series of practices and procedures which make up a rigorous Environmental, Health, and Safety Management System (EHSMS).

The ISO 14001 standard requires that a community or organization put in place and implement a series of practices and procedures that, when taken together, result in an environmental management system. ISO 14001 is not a technical standard and as such does not in any way replace technical requirements embodied in statutes or regulations. It also does not set prescribed standards of performance for organizations.

InterConnection was audited by Orion Registrar, Inc., an independent third-party auditor accredited by ANAB, the ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board, and is officially recommended for ISO14001:2015.
